An Important Change,

On Saturday last Prof. Chilcoat,
perintendent and principal of the
public school of the village, rendered
his resignation to take effect at once,
The Board of Education held a meet
ing in the afternoon and the resigna-
ton was accepted, and Rev. j. F.
Hamilton was persuaded TO take con-
troll CT the school for the balance of
this term. 1t is not necessary to
dwell upon the causes which led to
this summary severing of the head
from the school, but there has been
a growing dissatisfaction for some
time. Mr.. Hamilton has once be.
fore had charge of the school, and
gave universal satisfaction. 1t was
upon the occasion Of forced visit of
Prof. RocLeieau to the east. The
Board feels that it is decidedly fortu,
nate that, under the circumstances,
it had so competent superintendent
at hand to fill the vac incy.
Prof. Chico 1t left for Minneapolis
on Monday, where he will remain
foE brief period, when he expects
to return to Chicago and engage in
the practice of law. He is a gentle
manly and genial associate, and it is
to be sincerely regretted that it be-
came apparently for the best inter-
ests of all parties concerned for him
to give up his work. He carries with
him the respect of large circle of
acquaintance. among whom may be
named every member Of the school

If you want lamp of any price or
style from the cheap little tightening
bug of a fractional candle power for
night use, to hanging lamp which
rivals the electric arc light in
brilliancy, call on John A. Gilman.
He has the most varied assortment
of stand, bracket and hanging lamps
ever opened in Sank Centre, and
they are not only excellent in quail
ty but many of them very handsome.
The New Rochester lamp in various
stiles, superior in every particular to
the Chicago lamp and abs olutely
non-explosive. They are tasteful in
design and shed soft but powerful
light, superior to gas and fully equal
to electricity. If you want lamp
or lantern of any style call at the
Sank Centre Furniture Co.'S store
and make your selections from a
stock which would do credit to a
large city.

Speaking of the sale of lands in
Todd county, G. G.. Howe, who has
charge of the Manitoba lands, says
that nearly the entire tract of $4,000
acres has been sold to actual settlers,
mostly Scandanavians, at prices
ranging from three to eight dollars
per acres, or about what they cost
the company. Over million ties
were cut from these lands last win
ter, besides an enormous quantity Of
timber, worth thousands of dollars.
Only the oak was taken from the
lands, and there is an abundance of
fuel left. 1t is estimated that not
more than two million feet of heavy
timber remain to be cut.
